A Day in Our Life: Fall Craziness

We have been SO busy these past few weeks! We had so many friends come into town and visit, and it was so nice, but we're ready for the Holidays to kick in and have some down time and quiet time with family and friends. Halloween was fun, we went out in costume two nights, Jerod was itching to show everyone his Macho Man costume, it was pretty good- and he sold it really well, too. Then we went to a tailgate when our friends came into town from California, it was really fun, both of us were sad to see the Hawkeyes winning streak end (yes....even me...). That doesn't mean I'm a Hawk fan, just that it was neat to see an Iowa team doing so well nationally. Anyway, we'll get to see family a lot these next couple weeks. My sister, Kristen made OPUS (middle school honor choir), a statewide thing, and she has a concert at Stephens Auditorium here in Ames. My parents are bringing her up...I'm not sure where they're going to sleep! Then, we're meeting my parents in Minneapolis on Saturday to do some shopping, see a football game Sunday, and celebrate 29 years of marriage for them...already thinking of what to do for them next year for their 30th. Then, of course, headed out to Sioux City and Greenfield for Thanksgiving weekend. I love this time of year, family and friends can't be beat!
